I just found this in a google serach "Great collectible flashlight from Ray-O-Vac. Circa early 1950's this flashlight was officially called the Captain Ray-O-Vac Rocket Ship Light. Underneath the captain on the flashlight is the phrase Leader of Light ."
And this sucker really throws! I just couldn't believe it how far the beam goes.

Rayovac always seems to have good reflectors.
I have this vintage chrome 2C sportsman, that I load with 2x17500's and an HPR51 bulb. Makes a slick little light, and the reflector on it is pristine with a good beam.
Rayovac is a favorite of mine actually. I have about ion my collection. Mostly modern ones.
They are a good sleeper light too. I've probably been able to mod them more then any stock modern off the shelf economy light.
If you score a modern Workhorse 2D, you can fit a Magled into it with NO mods, while even still being able to screw the bulb retainer on. And it'll trow jsut as good as the magled would in a Mag.
Not to mention, is an many other will fit a pair of 18650 cells.
Question is, what is the reflector assembly and what not made of?
I can imagine running a Rop-Hi is short bursts for demonstrations, but extended you might melt the poor thing.

I can't recall but who, but someone on here ROP'd a old bullet style ROV a few years back. I remember thinking that's the coolest stealth light around. But this one may top it.
